Plan of Management of Adrenal Incidentaloma Diagnosed with Carcinoma Colon: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

During staging workup of colorectal cancer (CRC), adrenal incidentalomas (AIs) are frequently identified with an incidence of approximately 9-13%. Among AIs, adrenal adenomas are most commonly detected followed by adrenal myelolipomas (AMLs), presenting a diagnostic and management challenge in cancer staging.
